James W. Tufts

I bought a set similar to this at the auction. Except my sugar bowl does not have the top, and my creamer has a dent and my set is scruffier. But this set is for sale on eBay for $29.99 and I bought mine which also has a bigger bowl (with no lid) for $5.00. The set cleaned up nicely and looks quite charming despite it's wear and tear. Does anybody know anything about James W. Tufts quadruple silver plate? I'm thinking about planting a little maiden hair fern in the larger pot...what do yawl think? Will it ruin it? I don't plan on reselling.....and I love the idea of things repurposed.

omg angel...i have the teapot that matches that set! a friend of ours found all kinds of things washed up inland after the hurricane and one of these was this teapot. the inside is badly corroded-i imagine from the salty sea water sitting in it for so long, and all the stuff he brought me were blackened, but great for what i use them for. i thought the stamp was the year, i had to look it up myself...i'm going to mosaic over mine-i think-but the teapot is beautiful with the deep engravings.you got a great deal!kudzu

About Me

I blog therefore I am.
I am married to my exact opposite, but I love him with all my heart. We have been married 17 years. I got two children in the deal, who have given me a total of 7 grandchildren. I'm doing this thing backwards. I got the teenagers first, they grew up and married and then I got the babies. We have two puppy girls CiCi and GinGin. They are named after Elvis' women, Priscilla Presley and Ginger Alden. We have two new additions to our family, a baby chihuahua girl--Ann Margaret and a baby chihuahua boy--Fontana. DJ Fontana was Elvis' drummer and of course Ann-Margaret was long time friend of Elvis. They of course have nicknames--TanTan and BitBit...
